Halo 3 For Xbox - Save The Galaxy

 

The game Halo was created by Bungie studios and is considered a science fiction video game. In the game, you play as the principal character named Master Chief. Master Chief is actually considered a human super-soldier, who is equipped with advanced battle armor. He also has a companion who goes by the name of Cortana. Cortana is Master Chief’s artificial intelligence companion, who actually narrates the game as you play and she also gives you a lot of the background information during gameplay. Halo 3 for xbox continues the tradition in being a high seller, and only available on xbox.

The Halo trilogy has been praised as one of the best first-person shooters that are available for a console, especially the first of the series, Halo: Combat Evolved. Since Halo is for Xbox only, other consoles have tried to put out first person shooters that aspire to be better than Halo. After the wide success of Halo, Combat Evolved, Bungie released the second Halo game, Halo 2. The sequel to Halo, Combat Evolved broke sales records after its release. After the extreme success of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, Halo 3 was released. In the first 24 hours of the release of Halo 3 for xbox, the game broke Halo 2’s record, selling over $170 million worth of copies.

The Halo franchise has created a ‘Halo Nation’ and due to the impact that the games have caused, the trilogy has even been compared to the Star Wars franchise. The franchise doesn’t just stop at the games, there have been novels and graphic novels written as well as many different types of other licensed products from such things as action figures to Mountain Dew production cans. Due to the major success of this franchise, the Halo franchise has begun to expand. Halo and Halo 2 have been released for the PC with talks about Halo 3 also being released for the PC. Another game that has been released also includes Halo Wars. This game is a real time strategy that has been developed by Ensemble Studios and is being released on the Xbox 360.

It’s been estimated that after the release of Halo 2, that online players recorded over 91 million combined hours of online play. It’s been noted that the launch of Halo games have actually become a cultural event in America. Many people believe that the launch of Halo 3 for Xbox has allowed the Xbox to be what it’s become today, but that can also be a debate among gamers. No matter what the outcome of that debate maybe, as gamers of Halo, we all know what we have to do. Finish the fight.
